spotlight of public interest flashed brighter than ever on Chevrolet.
Now — for the first time — there are’ two Chevrolet Sixes —
the Standard and the Master. Body-styles for everybody. Prices
for several different groups of buyers. But only one standard of
quality — the very same high standard that has made CHEV-
ROLET the greatest name in low-priced motoring,
Both Standard and Master lines offer Air-Streamed Bodies by
Fisher—safety glass windshields—and that newest General Motors
sensation: Fisher No-Draft Ventilation. In the Standard Six,
you can enjoy all these advantages at the lowest operating cost of
any full-size car on the road.
Whichever you choose—the mere fact that the leader built it
is assurance of outstanding value. But you'll never really know
how outstanding it is till you come to our showrooms — sec it,

The Leader for Forty Years
“Fresh from the Gardens”
Pitsvary Cause Of£D Depression.”
A recent address by Professor Gilbert E. Jackson, of the Department of
Economics of the University of Toronto, delivered before the Empire Club
of Toronto, has attracted wide attention throughout Canada, and deservedly
so, It has been quoted on the floor of Parliament, and has been made the text
of countless newspaper articles, Yet it dealt with a very simple subject, a
subject as old as the human race,—selfishness.
Thousands of. sermons have been preached on this subject, books and |,
dramas without number have been written with selfishness as the: central
theme, the law courts have been filled with cases arising out of selfishness,
sorrow and trouble of all kinds have sprung from it all down through the
ages. Nevertheless, Professor Jackson’s address commands an immediate
and large audience today because he deals with the all-prevailing world
depression as having its basic cause in just this one thing selfishness, And
who is there who-will say he is wrong?
Professor Jackson is an economist. He deals with cold facts and still
colder figures. He is concerned with the actualities of life, with things
material to our human well being. But when he has analysed all the factors,
and sifted all the facts, and studied all the evidence pro and con relative to
this world economic depression, he is forced to the conclusion that the basic
trouble is, after all, not some man-made institution or system like banking
or tariffs, that it is not over-production or under-production, but a condi-
tion of mind and heart of the average individual,—his selfishness, avarice
and greed, of which all these mee things are but the natural and inevitable
outcome. .
So, professor Jackson stressed the point that economic.betterment must
come primarily from a change of heart in the individual rather than merely
by tricks of economic reddjustment; from proposals that go deep into ‘the
heart of man.and begin with his own conscience. “Looking back on the past
four years I wonder,” he said, ‘‘that the realization of these things has not
brought forth a new religious movement.”
It-is not a new religious movement that is called for or necessary, but
action based upon acceptance of the fundamentals of Christian religion. The
» Sermon on the Mount contains the whole and complete formula for the cure
of the present depression, and the prevention of any depression in the future,
It is not the formula of Capitalism, nor Socialism, nor Communism. It is the
formula of the Golden Rule, acceptance and application of the principle of
doing unto others as we would that others should do unto us.
What are these tariff barriers erected by all nations but an outward
expression of the narrow nationalistic sentiments of individuals, and narrow
nationalism is the outcome of the selfishness and greedof individuals, Tariffs
are erected for the openly avowed purpose of selfishly promoting our own in-
dividual and national interests at the expense of loss and suffering by other
individuals and nations. Selfishness and -greed is the rns of such
actions,
And. what is true of tariffs as an instrument of economic warfare be-
_tween nations, applies with equal truth and force to scores of other man-
devised and man-made methods, schemes and systems, conceived in selfish-
ness, first of. the individual, and through.the individual or the community,
the nation, and the world. And the selfishness and greed of the indivdual
is merely more openly expressed and multiplied when it takes the . form of
the selfishness.of classes, communities and nations.
At the present time it is considered the popular thing to denounce the
so-called: ‘vested ‘interests’ as the embodiment of all the selfishness and
greed in the world, and to declare because one class acts from these un-
desirable and evil motives, other classes should unite in order to act from
exactly the same motives. Two wrongs do not and never did make a right,
and the swing of the pendulum from one wrong to another wrong will |
remedy nothing, but only provide still more trouble, chahaines greed, a greater
_ growth of selfishness,
Those who today control finance and industry under the prevailing sys-
tem have much to account for. They have been greedy and selfish. They must
and will be made to mend their ways, even if their hearts and desires remain
unchanged. But the remedial method to be employed to that end is not to
meet greed with greed, to oppose selfishness with more selfishness, to organ-
ize one set of interests to wage war on another and opposing set of interests.
All greed and selfishness does not arise from greed for wealth or property.
There is the greed for position, for power, for domination, for honors, for
social distinction, for something, almost anything, the other fellow
we have not. And how few individuals striving for these things are animated
solely by a desire to possess and uSe them unselfishly for the benefit of others?
Professor Jackson is right, unquestionably so, when he declares that
economic betterment must come primarily from a change of heart in the in-
dividual, and that word “individual” is all inclusive; it means the banker, the
mortgage and loan executive, the railway head, the politician, the manufac-
turer, the merchant, the farmer,—all of these, but it also includes the clérk,
the artizan, the farm hand, the laborer. Mankind is in one lifeboat in the
storm of this depression. They must pull together on the oars in unison, not
at cross purposes. It is a case of one for all and all for one.
‘To change the metaphor, this is a time for building up, not tearing down.
It is a time to sink all selfishness for the common good. The man in debt
must receive generous treatment and ample assistance at the hands of his
creditors; equally so the creditor is entitled to and must receive proper
recognition of his rights by the man who is indebted to him, The employer
must make sacrifices in the interests of his employees; the employees must
do likewise to help their employer.

Outstanding characteristic of the

play some part in manufacture, said
Hon. H. H. Stevens in a statement is-

“The prettiest
rag rugs
I ever saw”
MMM
“I feel I Should share with you.a
wonderful compliment I had on my
new rag rugs,” writes an apprec‘a-
tive Three Rivers woman. OA
wealthy lady from the City of Quebec
was visiting here and saw the rag
had never
seen such artistic ones, with such
rich, lovely colors. She asked me if L
bought new materials to get such
beautiful color effects. When I told
her I had dyed my old scraps w.th
Diamond Dyes, she simply couldn’t
believe it. Of course I’m very proud
of my rugs. Besides being beautiful
colors, they are fast and washable.”
In the popular new. art of rug making
women are finding again the real
value of Diamond Dyes for pérma-
nent dark colors by boiling. No other
dyes make old materials look so new
and rich in color, because no other
dyes contain so much of the finest
aniline colors. For light dainty
-shades without boiling for lingerie,
summer blouses and dresses, use the
wonderful new Diamond Tints. All

Dyes and Diamond Tints.

No Argument
. The Court was trying a case which
‘had arisen out of-a car accident,
“You say you were half scared to
death,” said counsel for the defence.
“I know very well I was,” said the
victim, with warmth.
“Then,” said counsel coldly, “how
do you know it was-a motor car, or
something resembling a mowe car;
that hit you?”
The victim looked square at’ ‘him,
“It resembled one all right,” he re-
plied. “I was forcibly struck ‘by the
resemblance.”

Cannot Issue Special Coins
Government Has Refused Request By
City Of Toronto
In these days of discussion regard- |
ing stamp bills, flat money and other |
methods of ridding Canada of. its
share of the depression, it is interest-
ing to note that the issue of money
in any form for special purposes is
contrary to all British practice. None
but the King may benefit by the issue
of coinage.
Some time ago it was suggested |
to Ottawa that the Canadian gov-
ernment authorize a special issue of’
50-cent pieces in order that Toronto
might facilitate the financing of the
1934 centennial celebration. It was
estimated that a substantial profit
might be realized in selling these at a
premium over the counter to souvenir
hunters. and coin collectors.. Mayor
Stewart asked, of course, for a mono-
poly on the sale for the city, of Tor-
onto.
However, His Majesty’s govern-
ment, through Ottawa, has ruled that
important as the occasion may be,
such a precedent cannot be‘ establish-
ed in the case of Toronto, according
to a report made .to the centennial
committee.

London Sends a Warning Note
About Cattle Export Trade
Ofhise Ta
Too much importance cannot be
placed upon the suggestions made in
the following paragraphs from a re-
port based on a thorough investiga-
tion by the High Commiagioner’s of-
fice of the situation in respect to our,
export cattle trade. A note of warn-
ing which we cannot afford to ignore
is quite apparent in these paragraphs, |
which should be placed before every
person interested in avoiding any ac-
tion which might tend to jeopardize '
the development of our export cattle '
trade in Great Britain.
‘It is mow generally recognized
that there has been an improved se- |
lection of steers for the export trade
in recent years, and their popularity
here has spread accordingly. Dealers
and buyers are peculiarly sensitive to
disappointment when’ the standard
of excellence drops in any one ship-
ment. The burden of returning a rea-
sonably good price for common sorts
of livestock impoges a difficult tax on
salesmanship, and consignees appre-
ciate the adverse effect on business
_ Of unfavourable price returns. Con-
stantly they are telling the shippers
what the trade wants and urging
them, diplomatically, to choose ex-
port cattle carefully for type, weight,
age and conformation. But the she-
cattle trade, befng rather more diver-
sified, lends itself more readily. to
harassing experiences than does the
trade in steers. }
“Our healthy heifers and cows have
been talked of and written about fre-
quently. There. has been created an
atmosphere of hopeful expectancy.
The value of goodwill is an addition-
al consideration. Its place in the re-
spective sections of the British trade
ranks high, and this fact should be
weighed carefully ‘by the Canadian
shippers. ~
“It is not possible to forecast
whether or not cows and_ heifers,
suitable for breeding and dairy pur-
poses, can be selected and shipped to
advantage. That will be determined
only by trial and experience. Starv-
’ ing. the trade demand for suitable
stock is the more preferable and pru-
dent policy; over-feeding it with com-
mon sorts, especially at the outset,
. will stunt, and may even damn, a
‘promising potential trade.
“She-stock seiected in Canada for
breeding or dairy purposes in Great
Britain, and lacking the characteris-
tics fitting to the ideas and needs of
the people specializing in those par-
ticular activities, will mot find buyers,
except at uneconomic prices. Experi-
ences of this sort will give, in addi- |:
tion to uneconomic a a wrong
impression in Great Britain of the
value and usefulness of our she-
stock,“a condition that will cost the
producers and shippers considerable
money, and one that will be difficult
to correct. The same thing applies to
' our steers going into new areas.
“Such a result, if it were possible
to forestall, should not be risked or
permitted. Even extreme precautions
to safeguard the new trade, and the
new opportunity, could be justified.
’ Furthermore, I misjudge the. trade
here if they would not support con-
centrated action, at the outset, to at-
tain this desirable objective.
“For the general guidance of ship-
pers who are considering the possi-
‘with either heifers or springer cows,
freshening three or four weeks after
landing, the great majority of the
dairy farmers prefer a good size ani-
mal, which, Of course, should possess
milking qualities and conformation.
The breeds. most favored &re cross
Shorthorns or crosses out of Holstein
and Ayrshire by a Shorthorn bull.
Pure bred Ayrshires or Holsteins are
not favoured unless they are of the
top class. The dairy Shorthorn type
and size is what: dairymen have in
mind;
“One dealer sugests * ' that: —ghip- |
pers should give the” fullest informa-
tion as to probable dates of calving;,
what kind of site produces. the calf;
and what age the cow is—whether
first, second or third calf. We would
recommend cows about’ four to five
years old, carrying: second or third
bilities of serving the dairy industry
be
Sere
calf. First calf cows would not sell as
well, owing to the prospect of smaller
milk volume during first calf period.’
“The first choice in Scotland, for
heifers for beef breeding purposes is
; well bred Angus or their crosses.
‘Shorthorns are second. Herefords are
,not popular. In England, the Here-
ford takes a better place.
| “Realizing and sustaining profit-
; able. results in building our cattle
; business will depend very largely up-
on the direction and conduct of the
initial efforts in the new. field of mar-
kets.”
Common sense should convince us
that: the points made in the above
paragraphs are well. taken, and that
all concerned would do well to exer-
: every reasonable precaution in
respect to volume and quality of cat-
tle exported to the United Kingdom.
If, however, further proof is neces-
sary, nothing could be more appro-
priate than the following statement
from a letter dated February 17th
from the Animal Products Trade
Commissioner in London to the Do-
minion Live Stock Branch, Ottawa,
in respect to a recent: shipment sold
at Birkenhead.’
“The cows, whether or not they
were intended for slaughter or milk-
ing, were unsuitable for either pur-
pose. None of the buyers was inter-
ested to the extent of tendering a
bid. Usually what happens with the
sale of such animalg is that they are
left with the consignee until he com-
mences to feél that the costs to the
shipper for holding the cattle are ac-
cumulating out of proportion to the
the sale is concluded mostly at the
buyer’s figure, and for the very good
reason that, although they are un-
suitakle for the meat trade ,there is,
nevertheless, no alternative outlet.’
Adding conviction to conviction, we
can do nothing better, in concluding
this statement, than quote from a
letter received from one who has,
for more than a quarter of a century,
been active in he United Kingdom
market.
“You may advise any inquirers that
rough cattle. are not wanted, and it
would be very foolish to put the cost
of shipping on common cattle. It
costs just as much to ship and sell a
bad one as a good one. England wants
only well bred cattle in good condi-
tion.”

,Tooth decay is primarily due to

for the petroleum it was capped to

When it became clear that there
was oil in commercial quantities half:
way down the Mackenzie between
Great Slave Lake and the Arctic
Ocean. there was a lot of popular
speculation as to what would be done |
about it. Common comments were
that the oil was useless where it was
and would never become a commér-
cial proposition. It was held that it
,would be out of the market until the
southern wells went dry and even
then the cost: of freighting it up
stream nine hundred miles or one
thousand miles to rail head, or pump-
ing it up hill through a pipe line for
the same distance, would be prohibi-
tive. 7 5
Then came the aeroplane, and maps
made from aerial photographs. Pros-
pectors and their supplies were taken
in from rail head in as many hours
as it formerly took weeks, and were
moved from lotation to location with
equal speed. Steamboats and tractors,
canoes and dogtrains were in use, too,
but it was the aeroplane which car-
ried the master key to the doors of
the North. .
The mineral deposits about the
east end of Great Bear Lake were
discovered, development began, and
there was a demand for. gasolene and
fuel oil. Great Bear Lake empties
into the, Mackenzie River through
Great Bear River, at the mouth of
which latter Norman is situated. The
Norman oil source in 1932 was, there-
fore, comparatively speaking, next
door to its customers, with water
transportation (except one portage -
around a stretch of rapids in the
Great Bear River) from the well to
the east end of Great Bear Lake.
The Northwest Company, which had
brought in a small refining plant in
1921, opened this up in the spring of
1932 and supplied gasoline and fuel
oil for running motors and Diesel en-

CORRESPONDENCE.
MORE ABOUT THE BURNELL
PLAN
To the Editor:—I have received a
number of requests to punuciy ex-
press my views 1n respect to the Bur-
neil Plan, which I have been stuuy-
ing tor some months, I am of tne
op:nion that this pian can revive
business activity in Western Canada
w.thout government aid simply,
soundly, and immediately.
It is universally admitted by econ-
omists and realized by. business men
that there can be no revival of busi-
ness activity unless and until our
agr.cultural income is revived. A
greater purchasing ‘power among
tarmers is thé supreme need at this
time, . ;
‘rhe Burnell Plan, a strictly con-
trolled inflationary device, offers a
means of putting a greatly increased
purchasing power to work immedi-
ately. It po:nts out a simple and prac-
tical way for business people and
farmers to join forces for their mu-
tual benefit. .
The. plan has received the hearty
endorsement of a number of leading
economists, banking officials; and
businesSs executives in Winn._peg and
other western cities. It is being close-
ly studied by boards of trade, serv-
ice clubs, retail merchants’ associa-
tions, and other bodies directly inter-
ested in the revival of business. In-
térest in the plan centres chiefly
around the fact that it indicates an
immediate speeding up of business ac-
tivity .by increasing the velocity of
retail and wholesale commodity turn-
over and avoifis most of the objec-
tions to. other inflationary schemes.
The sponsors of the plan are asking
professional and business. ‘men to
study and ‘criticise the details of the
plan before it is introduced to the
general public and the farming com-
munity. -
In brief the plan is as follows: A
Collective Produce Clearing Associa-
tion is formed, having for its Board
of Directors a group of men who are
outstanding in the business world and
whose names automatically inspire
public confidence. Any farmer. may
.become a member of the association
upon payment of a fee of one dollar.
The association is represented by an.
agent at every country point. (Nego-
tiations are in progress with a view
to having the branches of the char-
tered banks act as agents.) To its
agents the association wilLissue ‘“Pro-
duce Bonds” or vouchers and special
stamps valued at multiples of four
cents. -
- When a farmer sells produce (say
a load of oats worth $5.00). he re-
ceives a cheque or cash ticket from
the buyer.- Ordinarily he would do
$5.00 worth of business with this
document. Under the Burnell Plan
he endorses his cash ticket or cheque
to the association, and receiving a
produce voucher with a face value
of double amount, namely $10.00. He
affixes a 40 cent stamp, which he has
purchased from the association, and
tenders the voucher to a local mer-
chant for $10.00 worth of goods
The merchant affixes a 40 cent stamp,
which he has purchased from the as-
sociation, and passes the document
on for $10.00 worth of goods or sery-
ices.
The voucher passes through .four-
teen hands in this manner, each
holder adding a 40 cent stamp. Each
holder subsequent to the farmer gives
“$10.00 worth of goods or services and,
after contributing his 40 cents, re-
ceives $10.00 of value. Thus every-
one has done $10.90 worth of busi-
ness instead, of $5.00 worth, and has
paid a discount of 4 per cent. for the
opportunity.
When the fourteenth holder has
added his stamp he takes the voucher
to the nearest association agent and
redeems it for its face value of $10.00
cash. To redeem the voucher the. as-
sociation: has on hand the original
$5.00 deposited by the farmer at the
outset, plus $5.60 which has been
‘paid in.by the purchasers of stamps
which are affixed’ to the voucher,
Thus there is on ‘hand $10.00 to-pay
to the 14th holder and a surp'us of
60 cents to cover operating expenses
and to build up a reserve. As soon as
the voucher is redeemed it is cancell-
ed and retired from circulation.
Certain. natural objections to the
plan are evident. For instance, it is
said that the whole plan is based up-
on a sales-tax and that business can-
not stand it. The answer to this ar-
‘gument is easy. Admitting that the 4
per cent. discount accepted by each
holder of the voucher is in the nature
of a sales-tax, it is readily seen that
this is the only tax in existence
which has the direct effect of stimu-
lating business activity. Whereas an
ordinary sales-tax represents a slice
of your profit taken by the Govern-
ment because you have done a stroke
of business, the tax involved here is
a portion of your profit which you
voluntarily contribute directly to
your own community for the pur-
pose of speeding up business. Busi-
ness men realize that taxation is the
order of the day. It is inevitable. By
accepting the voluntary taxation in-
volved in the Burnell Plan you may
prevent compulsory taxation of a
more unpleasant type. :
Another objection to the plan is
summed up in the words, “I don’t like
scrip schemes.” Here, again, it is a
matter of facing what is almost: .in-
evitable. Whether you like it or not,
scrip is rap'dly working its way into
the commercial life of western Can-
ada, and will probably be adopted in
many communities during the com-
ing year. Some scrip schemes ‘have
more objectionable « features than
others. Great advantage will ensue if,
instead of encouraging the mushroom
growth of a score of unrelated scrip
issues, we firmly establish one plan
which is economically sound and ap-
plicable to the whole West.
~Some critics have suggested that
an inherent danger of the Burnell
Plan lies in the possibility of vouch-
ers getting “stuck halfway,” and not
completing the full round of 14 trans-
actions, The likelihood of this occur-
ring is so slight as to be practically
negligible. As each voucher travels
from the farmer to the ultimate hold-
er there is. actual cash behind it. The
cash backing is never less than 54.
per cent.,.and it is constantly grow-
ing as people use the vouchers. Value
increases with use, and every vouch-
er is 100 per cent. redeemable in cash
to ‘the 14th holder. No wise business
man will refuse to accept the vouch-
ers if the integrity of the issuing or-
ganization is firmly established. If he
refuses to accept the vouchers he
simply drives business across the
street to the merchant who will ac-
cept them.
The sponsors of this plan fully real-
ize the importance of public’ confi-
dence. They are setting up a Board
of Directors comprised of business
men whose names are well known to
the people of the West,—men whose
association with the plan will auto-
matically establish its integrity and
inspire the necessary confidence.
The plan has been studied by pro-
fessional and business men, econo-
mists and financiers. Weaknesses
have been checked and remedied. It
has now reached a stage where it has
received the endorsement and back-
ing of many of the most level-headed
leaders in the West.
This plan will give an important
stimulus to business,—not in the
middle, and not at the tail-end,—but
right at the beginning where it is
most needed and where its effects
will be shared by everyone in the
community. It will solve the basic
‘problem of diminished farmer ptr-
chasing power. It will enable the
farmer to buy twice as many goods,
to pay twice as many Dills, as he |
could otherwise do. It will. enable
merchants to move: tw:ce as much
merchandise from their shelves, at
ordinary price-levels. It will permit .
municipalitieg to achieve double suc-
cess in tax collections. It will enable
wholesalers to get rid of. more sup-
plies. It will speed up the. collection
of long. overdue doctor-bills and den-
tist-bills. It will mean that mortgage
companies will’ be able to clean up
their frozen accounts more rap‘dly.
It will speed up business all along the
line and create a new spirit of indus-
try, energy and enterprise in Western
Canada,
To accomplish this end the plan de-
mands something from the public. It
demands confidence and enthusiasm
and interest and support..It does not
pretend to give something for noth-
ing. But it does, definitely and speci-
fically, offer an appreciable reward to
the community which is willing to
help itself to the extent of contr’ but-
ing 4 per cent. of its normal profits
for the sake’ of getting out of the
awful hole of depression and stagna-
tion.

ON SWEEPSTAKES
Ottawa, Ont.—Sweepstakes for

would be legalized in Canada if a bill
introduced in the senate by Senator
A. D. MacRae, of Vancouver, . be-

ator’s second attempt to repeal Can-
ada’s ban on this type of large scale
gambling. He introduced a similar bill
last year, but failed to get it through.
Public feeling was now in favor
or regularized sweepstakes, Senator
MacRae said. In Vancouver 73. per
cent. of the voters at a plebiscite
had approved government. controlled
sweepstakes. The British Columbia
Hospital Association. had voted” in
favor of them and the Union of Bri-
tish Columbia Municipalities had en-
dotsed the idea.
The object of the bill is to author-
ize the provinces to permit the con-
duct of sweepstakes in their territor-
ies, not by any. group of citizens, but
only by a committee authorized by
the attorney-general, who would di-
rect the scheme, The money would be
devoted to the welfare of the sick, the
destitute. and the maimed.
The bill expressly forbids the ad-
vertising of a sweepstake outside the
province in which it is being conduct-

‘AS COMMANDER
Peiping, Ch'na.—-Thirty-five-year-
old Marshal Chang Hsiao-Liang, who
resigned as commander-in-chief of
the Chinese armies operating against
the Japanese in the north, explained
to the government he considered him-
self unfit to command, | :
His resignation. climaxed a iong
period of criticism of his adminis-
tration of the Chinese defence forces
which, since September, 1931, have:
been almost steadily withdrawing be-
fore the Japanese. In a telegram to
the Nanking government the young
marshal said:
“After ‘the loss of the three east-
ern provinces (comprising Manchue
ria), I tried my best to remedy my
fault but the fall of Jehol convinced
me I am unfit to keep command.”
Chang succeeded his father, the
|late Marshal Shang Tso-Lin, as war
|lord of Manchuria in 1928. .

who want a car without the

Chevrolet's position in the in-
dustry by opening up the mar-
ket represented by people
who in their. car purchases
must of. necessity give consid
eration first to cost and sec-
ond to style and size.
But while these con-idera-
‘tions of initial and operating
costs have been the duminats
ing factors in the production
of the new car, there has been
no sacrifice of eesentials and

tain refinements, Chevrolet

Restrict the Use of Credit.
States of the Republie across the
border will for a time'try the ex-
periment of getting along without
banks. This means getting along
without bank credits, and also
without, the money the people have
saved and deposited in the banks.
A carefully prepared account of
how business is cairied on when
bankr are closed would throw
gome light on the question of how
much business can be done with a
relatively small amount of money
that is kept in rapid ciroulation.
When the banks close the com-
munity has to get aloig with
what money the residents happen-
ed to have on-hand. at the time.
The per centage to which trade
falls off when, there is only this
fraction of the money supply avail-
able for,use would be illuminating.
To what extent curtuilment of
the supply is offset by speeding: up
of circulation is a thing it would
be useful to know.
The survey .would also indicate
to what degree it might be practi-
cable to restore busitress to a cash
busis and restrict the use of credit,

Canada and the U. S. is done with
bank credits, not cash. The cur-
tailment of these credits Was a

A half-mile up ‘in the fleecy clouds
up above the pretty city of Edmon-
ton, Mr. “Buzzard” Featherof was
dropping out toy parachutes carry-
ing free cakes and printed matter of
the E-Z Kleen Soap and Washing
Powder Company, Ltd.
He was tired, stiff, -hungry ‘and in-
describably bored.
During the late war Buzzard had
' knocked .an assorted number of Fok-
kers, Taubers and Albatrosses out of
the air; had come down hmiself a
couple of times rather precipitately;
and once, commanding a. five-plane
circus, hand brought down a Super-
Zeppelin in the Channel after it had
dropped its “eggs” in cabbage patch-
es around darkened London.
Since his return to Canada, Buz-
zard had taken a fling at aerial map-
making in British Columbia; had
worked a season With the Manitoba
Fire Prevention as a “smoke hawk’;
had bombed papter-mache French
chateaux down amid the flowers and
climate of Los Angeles.
Recently, tired of working for other
folk, he had raked together some
money and bought a machine of his
own, which he now was flying.
It wag a queer nameless contrap-
tion, this monoplane of. his—an as-
semblage of plano wire, canvas,
spruce and iron, ‘held together by luck
and Buzzard’s lizardry at flying. It
tis, rheumatism, lumbago, etc.
Whenever you take Aspirin
you know you are going to get
immediate results—and you
know there will be no ill effects.
You know what you are taking.
Why take chances on some
form of relief which may not ,
be' as swift—may not be as
safe? The new reduced price
on bottles of 100 tablets has
removed the last reason for
ever experimenting with ‘any
substitute for Aspirin!

eyed snaggle-toothed child than Buz-
zard was of his White Speedair.
He was, however, ambitious to get
a big new De Havilland, so that he
could safely take up a girl down in
Kamloops and carry her along with
him on his airy path of. life. But
with no advertising or big company
to back him, Buzzard had found this
free-lance work to be tough sledding.
Had found difficulty keeping up re-
pairs on his old machine, let alone
getting a new one. Jobs were sheer
accidents. Except for the faint posst-
bility of murdering some more grass-
hoppers over near High Hat, the work
he was finishing this noon was the
last thing in sight.
As he heaved overboard the last
of the E-Z Kleen Soap and printed
matter, and headed back for the land-
ing field, he yawned and swore:
“The devil’ with this peace-time
stuff; Oh, Lord, I wish they’d bring
on another unpleasantfess.” .
It was in some such frame of mind,
as he landed and crawled out of the
cockpit, that he saw a tall lanky in-
dividual, in lace boots, khaki trous-
ers, jacket and gray hat, get out of a
waiting taxi and saunter toward him.
The stranger, as he came up, look-
ed at the machine with that peculiar
respectful gaze of a person who has
never flown in one.
Buzzard thought, “If that fellow
asks me to take him for a joy ride,
I'll: murder him with a monkey-
wrench!”,A moment later, as he got
a closer look at that hard purposive
face, he decided: “No, he’s not that
kind. Looks lige some timber duke.
Maybe wants me to fly him out to his
limit. Thirty-dollar job—dam-will!”
The stranger came on. “Hello.”
Buzzard answered! tartly, ‘Hello
yourself.”
- The stranger paid no attention to
the brusque reply. Instead: he reach-
ed out his hand. It was a good-look-
ing hand, big, calloused, fingers hae
iron bars. :
“Name's Baker,” he
himself. ‘Alan Baker.”
Buzzard partly thawed. This fel-
low Baker looked to be somebody.
His slow smile was mighty fetching;
his clear intelligent eyes were kindly,
warm, friendly.
“Glad to know you, Baker. Mino’s

“Uh- uh, ”
Baker jerked his thumb at the
*plane—‘‘Whose is that?”
“Looking at you. Belongs to me
and myself. Unlimited. Bought it
with cigarette coupons,” .
Baker's face brightened a little, and
now Buzzard noticed that this hard-
bitten man was deeply worried but
was hiding his trouble and talking
with a jest on his lips.
“So the machine belongs to you.
Glad to hear that. Working. on your

been sizing up his new acquaintance,
from his brick-red’ helmet, down].
across his oil-spattered jumpers, to
his “side-walk” shoes. He read the
daredeviltry in this Featherof. He

Dave MacMillan's trouble; of his re-

is getting busted, his buying out of
service, his thousand-mile trip to
eimenten.
“But just where do the old crate
and me come in at?” Buzzard asked.
